Lexis King talks to the NQCC in the back. King said he won his last match clean but people doubt his sincerity. He says him and Dempsey are similar guys. He says he's not a loose cannon but a straight shooter. He says people respect Dempsey because of the Heritage cup and needs to win it to get the same respect.

He says he can't make him feel what he did feel to Riley and Thea but can make him feel what he felt when he got put in an ambulance. Chase then calls for an ambulance match at Halloween Havoc.

Trick Williams and Ethan Page come out to talk. Trick says he should drop Page like a mixtape. He said he promised to wait until Sunday though. He says Page is scared and isn't all ego but all desperate. Page says maybe he is desperate or maybe that's what he wants him to think.

Page says he glosses over everything it took to get here. He says he never had a performance center like Trick to pamper and cater to him. He said he never had the greatest minds in pro wrestling prepping him. He says he had to go through hell to get where Trick is. Trick says he gets it but Page says that means he doesn't get it. He asks Trick if he has ever been busted open and have blood and sweat blur his vision. He asks if he ever got hit with a weapon so hard that it tears flesh but know you have to keep going. he asks if Trick ever tasted his own blood and sweat and got that copper and salt that eventually you start to like the taste of it.

Trick says he gets it. He says he's glad he's used to getting busted up because he will bust his @ss on Sunday. Page says "there he is". Page says he's all flash and fake confidence. He says he hit him with a light so he could get a glimpse of what happens at the devil's playground. He says anything goes and that only benefits one man - him. He says Trick looks great with the oil, fur and bling. He says Trick has ever skill but doesn't have the devil inside of him like Page. Page says he's not tough and not built for the devil's playground. Page says he will see a version of Page he hasn't seen in his entire career.

Trick says Page is all talk but has never beat him. He says he couldn't pin him for the title even. Trick says Page is desperate to stay close to the title but it won't happen. Page asks if it looks like the face of a desperate man and says good because he is desperate. He says it took him years to become a champ in WWE and after getting a taste, he became addicted. He says they are about to play in the devil's playground. He says someone will make him walk through hell and play with the devil's rules. Trick says he's looking forward to it.

Thoughts: Now this was a good promo. It's just said it took us months of them feuding to get to it. They finally came up with a good reason for these two to be fighting, I just wish it wasn't the same week as the match.

Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez talk in the back. Perez says Giulia and Vaquer have 0 chance against them. Fatal Influence walks in and says they don't deserve to be here and Kelani Jordan shouldn't be champ. Perez says hey have been the backbone of the women's division. Kelani Jordan walks in and says they are all nervous as they have been the backbone of the women's division and are losing it. Fatal Influence says Kelani can find out who she is facing on Sunday but can find out what the match will be today.

Thoughts: The match wasn't bad at all. KP's getting better at incorporating her kicks into her offense and putting things together. Sol didn't get a ton in here.

Nikkita Lyons talks to Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe. They put her over. She says the lioness is back and on the prowl. She says she will always pounce first and asks where they have been. Dupont says when their moment comes they will be ready. Lyons says you don't know when the moment will come and says no one will give them an opportunity. Oba Femi then gives Lyons her jacket and says she dropped it.

Rhea Ripley sends a tweet welcoming Zaria to the show.

OTM vs Hank Walker and Tank Ledger

OTM have really gone into the mud as of late as they haven't been featured much. Cole does the honk honk taunt with Hank and Tank. The fight starts outside. Hank boots Nima then Tank running back elbows Nima's back as he sits on the apron. Cole then poses with Hank and Tank.

Jaida Parker is with OTM, goes to kick Hank then Lola pounces her. Those two fight. Nima knees Hank in the gut and Cole hits Nima with a helmet. Nima takes a collision course and is pinned.

Thoughts: There was a bunch of shenanigans here in this one. I got a kick out of Cole trying to play along as he was definitely out of place. It was an an average match for the most part though there were no dull moments.

Lola Vice gets in the ring after and gets Cole, Hank and Tank to dance with her. 

Fraxiom talk to Ava in the back. Frazer wants Je'Von Evans and offers to even make it for the tag titles. Ava asks if he wants to run it by his tag partner. Frazer asks if they are the best team in the world and says we will see them next week.

Lexis King goes up to Ava in the back and says he can't find a cornerman. He asks if Ava can appoint one for him. King says she wouldn't get it as everyone loves her and he says he will stop wasting her time.

We get a Ridge Holland video. He asks Chase why all the anger. He says he wore the Chase U colors proudly and asks how it feels always having control to now having none and watching Chase U get torn down. He ask if Chase is sure he wants an ambulance match as he will be the man who ends him. He says he's the most dangerous man in NXT and says Chase U gets destroyed for good. He says Chase will take his last ride and then we see that Ridge is in the back of an ambulance with sirens going off.

Tony D'Angelo is interviewed. He says he doesn't know what is going on. He says Halloween Havoc will be more than who can run up the ladder and grab the title. He says he took what Oba loved and Oba returned the favor. He says he will us every table, ladder and chair to beat Oba's @ss. He tells Oba to be careful what he wished for as he will get it.

Vaquer and Giulia head to ring and run into Sane and Iyo. Vic says there's no strangers between those four but that's not really true. Giulia has never been in the same promotion as those two.
